Texas Native American Tribes

We are all enjoying researching and learning new facts and information about our Texas Native American tribes! What tribe are you studying? (Apache, Caddoes, Coahuiltecans, Commanches, Karankawas, or Kiowas) Please share at least 3 to 4 interesting facts you have learned so far. Make sure that you write them in compete sentences using capital letters and periods. Have fun and dig deep for information about your tribe.

I am researching the Karankawa tribe. One of my facts is that whey they are on the war path, they will paint their faces red and black. They also wore an apron or a breech cloth. In the summer, men wore no clothing or barely any clothes because they just wanted to show off how they strong they were.

I am in the Caddoe tribe. I learned that the name Caddoe means pierced-nose. I think the grossest fact was that they mixed deer and buffalo brains into some type of hide to make black leather. Caddoe men only wore a breach cloth in the summer.

I am studying the kiwis and boy was i wrong about them! They used material that sometimes uh never mind.....😖eww! Well ok ill tell you they used cow stomach and other types of material.I think its investing on the weapons part that they used bow and arrows between sacrifice!

My tribe is the Coahuiltecan. When a child is becoming a grownup the medic man heals all the scars and gives them a new layer of skin. They sometimes ate wild pigs. When their husband died in war the wife scarred herself with a knife.

I am learning about the Commanche Indians. I know that they are the toughest and meanest tribe. They make their boots out of snake skin. The Commanches hunted buffalo and deer and it is their favorite food. They use the skin for clothing and tee pees and rugs. The women worked more than the men and even the kids worked!

I am studying the Commanches. Did you know that the Commanches are experts on the bow and arrow? A normal tepee is thirteen feet, but most of the chiefs tepees are about as high as twenty five feet ! Tepee's are always cone shaped.Researching is fun and I cant wait to keep doing it!!!!

I am in the Apache studying group. One fact that I learned is that they travel a lot so they have to live in teepees because they are easy to move. Another fact about the Apache's is that they make arrows out of wood they find on the ground. The Apache's wear animal skin in the winter to keep warm and it grosses me out.🐂

I am studying the Kiowas. One fact that I found interesting was that they drank animal blood because they thought it was good luck. They also carried water with buffalo or cow stomachs. The buffalo was the most important animal that they hunted because they used every part of it. My favorite fact is that they lived in teepees because they were easy to travel with. And they could break a teepee down in 15 minutes.

My tribe is the Karankawas. They were nomads and they lived along the costal bend of Texas. They got their food by hunting javelinas, oysters, alligators, turtles and gathering fruits and berries. Bison and bear were hunted only if they wandered near the Karankawas' camp. The Karankawa Indians were the tallest of all the Texas tribes. Men wore a breach cloth or no clothing because their men liked to brag and show off how strong they were. When they were in the war path, they painted half of their faces red and the other half black. Sometimes the women would wear skirts made of deer hide and Spanish moss.

My tribe is the Apache. One of the first facts that I learned was that they saved cattle and used its stomach to carry water. I also know that they where a lot of animal skins like deer, buffalo, bug skin and so on. I also know that they make there bows out of wood that they find. They also move a lot so they live in tepees because they were easy to build and take a part. I can't wait to learn more about the Apaches.

the group I am studying is Kiowas . I learned that they drank animal blood! I thought this was interesting because they did'nt shoot animals unless they ascaped the circle. I also learned that boys got married at 16 and girls 14!

My tribe is the Commanches. The tepee was usually 13 feet tall. The chief had his own tepee that could reach 25 feet! The Commanches were tough and mean. They loved to eat buffalo & deer. The Commanches would drive a herd of buffalo off a cliff & kill the ones that survived.
